use fortigate 80c has wifi controller only

[dsears]

We have 3 fortiwaps 223B that were controlled by our fortigate 80c however we changed our router to dell sonic wall and kept the fortiwaps. I've tried managing the aps through forticloud but it doesnt allow me to manage the waps very well. So I would like to use my fortigate to only manage the fortiwaps and no longer act as a router. Is this easy to do?

Dear Sears,

You configure al AP's in bridge mode.

Use a layer-2 switch to interconnect all AP' s

isn't difficult at all. just do as go4it said and leave them in bridge mode and you can configure SSID's etc accordingly and they will use default gateway (of the vlan they are on) and other configurable items as they should.
